Despite the rapid growing pace of the modern world’s industrialization, the issues we are confronted with are becoming increasingly severe. While the GDP growth is rising in a stupendous trajectory, the probability of a forthcoming catastrophe happening caused by negative outcomes of the industrialization is rising simultaneously. For instance, pollution is a negative outcome produced by the rapid industrialization.
Pollution is the contaminated of a natural environment that can cause diverse changes to our surroundings, it is the process of making land, water, air or other parts of the environment unsanitary, unsafe or unapt to use or inhabit. There are multiple diversions of pollution for instance, air pollution, land pollution and water …show more content…
In other words, air pollution can be defined as any substance that hinders the atmosphere or affect the well-being of those living organisms habiting inside it. The Earth’s atmosphere is almost completely made up of invisible gaseous substances. Most air pollutants are invisible, and most of them are concentrated in large cities which can be seen as smog. One often visible air pollutant is particulate matter, especially when the surfaces of buildings and other structures have been exposed to it for long periods of time or when it is present in large amounts. Particulate matter is made up of tiny particles of solid matter and/or droplets of liquid. Natural sources include volcanic ash, pollen, and dust blown by the wind. Coal and oil burned by power plants and industries and diesel fuel burned by many vehicles are the chief sources of man-made particulate pollutants, but not all important sources are large scale. The use of wood in fireplaces and wood-burning stoves also produces significant amounts of particulate matter in localized areas, although the total amounts are much smaller than those from vehicles, power plants, and …show more content…
prostate cancer and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
• Hormonal problems that can disrupt reproductive and developmental processes
• Damage to the nervous system
• Liver and kidney damage
• Damage to the DNA
• Exposure to mercury (heavy metal)
• Water pollution may also result from interactions between water and contaminated soil, as well as from deposition of air contaminants (such as acid rain)
• Damage to people may be caused by fish foods coming from polluted water (a well known example is high mercury levels in fish)
• Damage to people may be caused by vegetable crops grown / washed with polluted water (author’s own
